Default Not stupid at all: the text presented here!

From a myth called "Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta."
go to http://doormann.tripod.com/enmerka.htm for the rest of the tale, translated from tablets. I included a selection that refers to 1. Aratta 2. A mountain of their land. They worshipped a goddess, "An, the lady of the mountains"

"Let the people of Aratta bring down for me the mountain stones from their mountain, build the great shrine for me, erect the great abode for me, make the great abode, the abode of the gods, famous for me, make my me prosper in Kulaba, make the abzu grow for me like a holy mountain, make Eridug gleam for me like the mountain range, cause the abzu shrine to shine forth for me like the silver in the lode."

All the texts I could find said Aratta was in Armenia. They also agreed that Aratta was a form of Ararat.

So, these are actuall tablets I am refering to! Not being stupid, the tablets show what I am talking about.

Gen 8:6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,
Gen 8:7 and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Gen 8:8 He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the surface of the ground,
Gen 8:9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
Gen 8:10 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Gen 8:11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Gen 8:12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.
Gen 8:13 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.
Gen 8:14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Gen 8:15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Gen 8:16 "Go forth from the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
Gen 8:17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, cattle, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."
Gen 8:18 Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Gen 8:19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
And so itsdatruth, Noah built a campfire, cooked, dined, undocked the sliding ark, from steep Ararat, and voyaged home, with an empty load, to the lower elevation Woodhenge, roughly 5000 years ago. Noah almost made it back home, to Stonehenge, where Noah built it, but the water had receeded. For critics: After business trips, such as that of Noah's, everybody returns home. Noah's home was at Stonehenge, proved by its wood preserved there.

Note: Gopher shittim Quercus virginiana is not Cypress shittah Acacia seyal, different species.

Any references for these claims?

Remember how Darwin proved that beetles could live on rafts of vegetation?
No. When/where did he?

If any of you actually want to read what is written, I pasted it below from the public domain translation that is called the World English Bible, downloadable from http://www.worldenglishbible.org .
You gave a link - why do you post these verses anyway?

Default Your Concerns...

With the "Breath of Life" that I referred to: I have heard about the interpretation of this phrase for quite some time now, and never heard of any alternate or dissenting definitions. It is life with a spirit or soul. If you desire an online reasorce for your further education, you can visit

http://www.godandscience.org/evolution/imageofgod.html

For a cross reference, read
Ecc 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"
Here animals are shown as having spirits. Yet, I am not arguing that all in the kingdom Animalia have spirits. God draws the line somewhere.

As for Darwin's study, I read that it involved Darwin putting some beetles on rafts of vegetation in container or containers of water in Britain. He found they could survive for months, and suggested that they could reach lands separated by water, like the Galapagos Islands, in this manner. I got the info from Refuting Evolution, which sold over 350,000 copies. It is not to be confused with Jonathan Sarfati's newer book, Refuting Evolution II

Darwin did a whole lot of floating experiments. You can read some letters of his that refer to them at

http://www.literaturepost.com/chapter/7739.html

I posted the link because I only pasted what I thought would be a practical amount to reference my points. I posted the link so that if anyone would want to read the whole flood account, they could do so easily enough without my overloading the string.

We were there gathered and hoping to show you all of the Carboniferous rocks, circling/over the artifacts. No worries though, all of the Welsh born Stonehenge rocks are to be moved back to Wales:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/3830547.stm

Instead we visited the good Doctor Robyn Lewis who staked the official claim on behalf of all fellow druids, all bards and all the Welsh compatriots. Archdruid of Wales made no claim to our artifacts:

http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs...tonehenge.html

Discoveries sparked it. Glacial transport disproven. So much for the Judd, Kellaway, Hawkins, Williams-Thorpe, et al, glacial transport. Thomas, Atkinson, Greene, Scourse, et al, would be proud.

http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/genera...&ci=0197261744

Here is the good Doctor's requested list of Welsh rocks that need to go back to Wales. They are in the way of the excavation of our gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone artifacts anyway. Archdruid of Wales, the good Doctor Robyn Lewis, has offered to pay for their removal, as agreed, making this a low cost excavation:

http://groups.msn.com/ArkArchaeology/shoebox.msnw

1) Stonehenge Whitestones - The oldest limestone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) Period, Arundian Age, calcium carbonates. The Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) Period limestone sedimentary rocks comprise the first (1st) Welsh construction material used by the Stonehenge builders from Wales. This material is approximately 340 million years old. These stones are called High Tor (Birnbeck) Limestone Formation rocks. They are Welsh and need to go back to Wales.

2) Stonehenge Bluestones - The volcanic rocks (oldest geologically) at Stonehenge are the Ordovician Period intrusive igneous diabases (dolerites), and extrusive igneous felsites (rhyolites) and tuffs (basic). The Ordovician Period igneous rocks comprise the second (2nd) Welsh construction material used by the Stonehenge builders from Wales. This material is approximately 470 million years old. These stones are called Ordovician Volcanic rocks. They are Welsh and need to go back to Wales.

3) Stonehenge Coshestons - The oldest sandstone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Silurian-Devonian Period micaceous sandstones. The Silurian-Devonian Period sandstone sedimentary rocks comprise the third (3rd) Welsh construction material used by the Stonehenge builders from Wales. This material is approximately 417 million years old. These stones are called Old Red Sandstone Formation rocks. They are Welsh and need to go back to Wales.

4) Stonehenge Gritstones - The sandstone grit, conglomerate, limestone, shale, and coal sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian), Namurian Age, silicates, calcium carbonates, and carbons. The Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Period sandstone grit, conglomerate, limestone, shale, and coal sedimentary rocks comprise the fourth (4th) Welsh construction material used by the Stonehenge builders from Wales. This material is approximately 320 million years old. These stones are called Millstone Grit Formation rocks. They are Welsh and need to go back to Wales.

5) Stonehenge Coalstones - The bituminous coal sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Period, Westphalian Age, carbons. The Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Period bituminous coal sedimentary rocks comprise the fifth (5th) Welsh construction material used by the Stonehenge builders from Wales. This material is approximately 310 million years old. These stones are called Crosskeys Coal Measures rocks. They are Welsh and need to go back to Wales.

Here Here to the good Doctor, the Archdruid of Wales!
